At the surface level, they look similar to me. NYC has been doing that for a whole lot longer, I wouldn't doubt their planning department has a more refined process.

My understanding is that NYC * has smaller time requirements for sunlight; the planning requirements state that an area should have 4-6 hours of sunlight a day, whereas SF looks at if it gets any worse over any time period * NYC only protects specific kinds of park uses for sunlight, so like sunlight is not material for a basketball court, for example.
